Topic : An Inexpensive Vision-Based System to Accurately
Detect EOR for Automobile Safety

Authors:A.Sri Lakshmi || D.Shekar Goud

Abstract:Distracted driving is one of the main causes of vehicle collisions in the United States. Passively monitoring a driver’s
activities constitutes the basis of an automobile safety system that can potentially reduce the number of accidents by estimating the
driver’s focus of attention. This paper proposes an inexpensive vision-based system to accurately detect Eyes Off the Road (EOR).
The system has three main components: 1) robust facial feature tracking; 2) head pose and gaze estimation; and 3) 3-D geometric
reasoning to detect EOR. From the video stream of a camera installed on the steering wheel column, our system tracks facial
features from the driver’s face. Using the tracked landmarks the system computes head pose and gaze direction.
